'What do you think OF Sir Johns threat

Valley Hallway with British troops" ask
ed your correspondent.
'lIe can do IT only at the peril Of rebel.
liun and that he dare not risk. The road
must he huilt and Sir John cannot stop
it. Manitoba is determined to have line
TO the nIted States boundary, independ-
cnt of the Canadian Pacific railway or the
Dominion government. An injunction has
been served 10 prevent the work, but no
Federal or other interference can stop it.
ManitOhans are bound TO carry the WORK
through il they have TO sort TO aTWs. We
are prog, s,ing immensely with the work,
and will sGOu have II in running order,

the British regulars were Ia Winnipeg now.
They are the men We want. We would ap.
peal to them against the mOnstrOus inlus-

Federal government and the Canadian
Pacific railway
DOMINION OFFICIALS ARRESTED.
An OTTAWA special says: The Dominion
Government view the situation with no
small degree nl alarm on account OF past
experience il dealing with Northwestern
affairs.
1t is not probable that an injunction
without aytual lhysical force behind twill
lee any murr elective than a paper di~al-
lowanrr. When . whole community has
dctcrmiEoi upon an object - the ManitO-
bans appear 10 hr, legal formulas lose their
effectiveness, and wits won't execute
themselves.

If such an ,drI would get in SIr John Mae
